Could you give a dog a home?

A SEDGLEY-based animal charity is hoping a borough family can take in a Jack Russell / Chihuahua cross, who has had a real ‘woof start’ to her young life.

Two year-old Ruby, was taken in by Dudley Animal Rescue as a stray. Following medical checks it was discovered Ruby had luxating patella, a common condition in small dogs, which means she has floating kneecaps.

She was placed with a foster family and finally found a new home with a middle-aged couple, but was returned three-weeks later when her new owner suddenly died.

Marion Fisher, who runs the rescue, said: “She has a rough start due to these tragic circumstances and now needs a forever home to settle into, as she’s had a lot of upheaval in a short time.

“She is an adorable dog with a lovely nature. You just want to pick her up and munch her little face.”
